Its a start

self explanitory.

To write is a gift.

To understand written word is a blessing.

To listen with empathy is beautiful, 

and hearing with your soul is greatness.

Every word written is a story all its own.

Its author is it's voice though the person be unknown.

Dedication is important, but so is the love alone, 

to make something great in to a precious stone.

Speaking with words, is something if not other than a gift,

to express ones self without the sound of a hard voice yet remains swift.

Hearing with your heart is just as effective as ears, but what you miss with 

voice you make up for with your eyes.

Writing is a gift, each day you live its true,

to speak to ones soul with out so much as a scruff.

No one says it is easy but this i know be true, if were

not for my gift the friends I met would not be true.

For they are my biggest fans who read, rather than speak,

for my words in type are more relieving than one could seek.

Author's Note

I know its not orthodox but it is about my start
